Setup and Installation
The VICSEED Car Phone Holder offers versatile mounting options for your convenience. Choose between dashboard/windshield mounting or air vent mounting.
Option 1: Dashboard/Windshield Mounting
- Prepare the Surface: Clean the desired mounting area on your dashboard or windshield thoroughly with an alcohol wipe and let it dry completely. For textured dashboards, use the provided adhesive dashboard pad for optimal adhesion.
- Attach the Suction Cup Base: Remove the protective film from the sticky suction cup base. Press the suction cup firmly onto the prepared surface.
- Secure the Suction Cup: Push down the locking lever on the suction cup base to create a vacuum seal, ensuring a strong and stable attachment.
- Attach the Phone Cradle: Connect the silicone phone cradle to the ball joint on the suction cup arm. Tighten the collar to secure the cradle in place.
The suction cup features an upgraded design for maximum adhesion, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and maintaining a strong grip even on bumpy roads.
Option 2: Air Vent Mounting
- Attach the Vent Clip: Connect the sturdy vent clip to the ball joint on the phone cradle. Tighten the collar to secure the clip.
- Insert into Air Vent: Carefully insert the vent clip into one of your car's air conditioning vents. Ensure it is securely seated.
- Lock the Clip: Use the locking mechanism on the vent clip to firmly grip the vent blade, preventing slippage or drooping.
Operating Instructions
Once installed, the VICSEED Car Phone Holder provides flexible positioning and easy phone access.
Inserting and Removing Your Phone
- To Insert: Gently press the side arms of the phone cradle inwards to open them. Place your phone into the cradle, ensuring it rests on the retractable foot tray. The arms will automatically close to secure your phone.
- To Remove: Press the quick-release button located on the back or side of the cradle. The arms will open, allowing you to safely remove your phone.
Adjusting Viewing Angles
The holder features multiple adjustment points for optimal viewing:
- 360° Rotating Joint Ball: Loosen the collar behind the phone cradle to rotate your phone to any desired orientation (portrait or landscape). Tighten the collar to lock the position.
- 270° Adjustable Mechanical Long Arm: The arm can be adjusted vertically and horizontally to bring your phone closer or further away, and to set the perfect viewing height. Loosen the knobs on the arm, adjust, and then tighten to secure.
The cradle is designed to accommodate a wide range of smartphones (4''-7'') and most thick cases, ensuring broad compatibility.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your VICSEED Car Phone Holder, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning the Suction Cup: If the suction cup loses its stickiness due to dust or debris, simply rinse it under warm water. Allow it to air dry completely before re-applying. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Cleaning the Cradle: Wipe the silicone pads and plastic parts of the phone cradle with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the phone holder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your VICSEED Car Phone Holder, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Suction cup not sticking | Dirty surface or suction cup; improper application. | Clean the mounting surface and the suction cup thoroughly. Rinse the suction cup with warm water and air dry. Ensure the locking lever is fully engaged after pressing the cup firmly onto the surface. For textured dashboards, use the adhesive pad. |
| Vent clip is loose or falls off | Vent clip not properly secured; incompatible vent type. | Ensure the vent clip is fully inserted into the vent blade and the locking mechanism is engaged. Verify your car's vent type is compatible (most horizontal and vertical vents are, but some circular or unusually shaped vents may not be). |
| Phone not held securely | Arms not fully closed; phone too large/small for cradle. | Ensure the phone is properly seated in the cradle and the arms have closed firmly around it. The holder is designed for phones between 4-7 inches. Check if your phone case is excessively bulky (e.g., ring holder case, pop case). |
| Arm/joint not holding position | Adjustment knobs/collars are loose. | Tighten all adjustment knobs and collars firmly after positioning the arm and cradle to your desired angle. |
